1)The position versus time for a certain particle
moving along the x axis is shown. Find the average
velocity in the time intervals (a) 0 to 2 s, (b) 2 s to 4s
and (c) 0 to 8 s.
2)A velocity–time graph for an object moving along the
x axis is shown. (a) Plot a graph of the acceleration versus
time. Determine the average acceleration of the object (b) in
the time interval t = 5.00 s to t =15.0 s.

2)A velocity–time graph for an object moving along the

x axis is shown. (a) Plot a graph of the acceleration versus
time. Determine the average acceleration of the object (b) in

axis according to the
equation x =2.00+3.00t – 1.00t2, where x is in meters
and t is in seconds. At t =3.00 s, find (a) the position
of the particle, (b) its velocity, and (c) its
acceleration.

4)A ball is thrown upward from the ground with an

initial speed of 25 m/s; at the same instant, another
ball is dropped from a building 15 m high. After how
long will the balls be at the same height above the
ground?
